The two statues on the bridge - representatives of secular and ecclesiastical power - indicate the geographic center of the Camino located here. So this is the 17th stage (counting according to "Rother") on the way from Terradillos de los Templarios to Sahagun.

The Hermitage of the Virgin of the Bridge is a historic gem located about three kilometers east of Sahagún, in the province of León. Built in the 13th century, the hermitage is an example of the Mudejar style, characterized by its blend of Christian and Islamic elements.
It's a place steeped in history and tradition, perfect for a visit if you're in the area.
